The Wallsend Railway and Racetrack, including a Lego powered Scalextric slot car (one of a few I've built) this is the perfect toy cross over you need in your life :)

And some Lego Scalextric slot cars

I thought people might be interested in where the Lego Scalextric slots cars have got to, including a tracked digger :) Digger And all the Lego cars, as videoed by my daughter :) Chris

Thought you might like to see how the new layout is progressing

Haha yes all being well :)

A few years ago I started playing around with making all Lego powered Scalextric Slot cars...and posted a few updates over in train tech as it's my normal hangout. Anyway still building and refining the cars (and the trains) thought you might like to see. The only non Lego part is the Scalextric Pickups, other than that, motor, gear and wheels are all stock lego and of course the cars need drivers and doors etc :) There's loads more at: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=dundarach And on: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2WDMLO3euGHjdMr2XbgiJg/videos Thanks, and I hope you like the idea :)

More crash test fun :)

I've never seen him before, that is great, off to buy one. That'll make epic videos :)

Now with crash tests :)

Many thanks for the positive words, they are pretty fast and the van does some great skids, my 6 year old son loves it. Thanks to Bricklink, the Gasser is now done: Next step is to expand this design with four wheel drive.

Sorry trying to embed a brickshelf image, could someone please remind me :) I've been away for a while moving house... Into a house which came with a big shed...only one thing for it :) http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=569959 More to follow Chris

Great thanks :) The red loco is a moc, just a simple copy of many others. I've never been a massive fan of the real 7745 which will upset people!! This was on 9v and now it's on RC

My son and I were bored so we rebuilt 4514 (two of them) into a more heavy duty version. From: To:

Thanks everyone, we spent this afternoon with another box tipped out and I found a 4.5v light (must sort everything out one day!!)

Last ones I promise...

Not posted for a while, however I'm still building. The Lego room has gone to become a bedroom, however my son is now 4 and building with me. A few of my latest mocs using the old 4.5v bricks. The 0-4-0 (not puffing billy) uses a power functions receiver to control it via RC. Hope you like them :)

Right, how about this, with better working motion...

Thanks for the feedback, its nice to have my 4 year olds track connected to the old blue 4.5v. I've 3d printed an adapter and will shortly be able to run both old and new locos on both types of track and some blue 12v and 9v too for fun. I'm going to keep working on getting the levers to operate the wheels that would be great, however the 4.5v motor doesn't have a massive amount of torque so the mechanism needs to be really free moving, otherwise the motor stalls.

Video of it in action...

Thanks for the size tip - all done, and a few more pictures.

Made some homemade stickers, not a massive fan of sticking things to the bricks, however I think they did need something, especially alongside the Scalextric ones.

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, however being I'm a train person and being it's still power and motors etc. I thought this might be the place. I have a bunch of 4.5v technic round motors - 6116m2 I want to power these from my scalextric track which is either 0-12v or newer --16v without destroying the motor. A thought might be to use a 0-5v voltage regulator to throttle back the supply, however could I two questions of the more enlightened than me: 1. would something like a 0-5v voltage regulator give me a range from 0 to 5v to accelerate the car? 2. is there an easier way to do this? Many thanks everyone, really want to build an all lego slot car, rather than butchering cars or lego :)

Nice, how do those cars run, I might buy those chassis as they look really good :)
